Today’s theme for Hurricane Preparedness Week is Storm
Surge. While storm surge does not impact
Richmond, it does impact the coastal and tidewater areas of the state where
many people vacation during the summer months which coincides with hurricane
season. Check out this video from NOAA
on Storm Surge:
Even though Richmond does not face the potential harm of
storm surge, flooding is an issue with the proximity to the James River. The tidal portion of the James River begins
in Richmond and Wednesday's preparedness
theme will address inland flooding so make sure you check back to find out
about more about this hazard.
